ABSTRACT

The analysts are all attending to how aspects of the frame are becoming established. Dr. M. Zoe's experience of being in the consultation room with the analyst, as well as the analyst's experience of being in the office with Zoe, have begun to evolve. The analysts are aware that there are other elements of the frame to be implemented over time. Each analyst is processing in her own mind the moment-to-moment development in the session as well as the overall experience in a unique and specific manner as a result of the clinical model with which she is working. Sigmund Freud offers different explanations for the analyst to listen to the communications of the analysand with evenly suspended attention. Freud advises the analyst to refrain from deliberately evoking conscious influences on the present material. The analyst is listening to and for derivatives of the analysand's unconscious material.
